Chris Coleman

At the forefront of cyber security Just a few keystrokes and bang!—your life is suddenly upside down, inside out and out of control. You want it back in your control? Bank on cyber-security troubleshooter LookingGlass Cyber Solutions, which specializes in flagging online security threats and protecting information—for companies, governments, and even executives—from the insidious tentacles of what CEO Chris Coleman describes as “malicious actors.” Ahead of this year’s Black Hat Conference on July 30-Aug. 4 at Mandalay Bay—at which LookingGlass will prominently participate— Coleman talked to Las Vegas Magazine about the challenges of staying safe in the cyber realm: Why is Open Source Intelligence—information collected from publicly available sources—so vital to how LookingGlass helps its clients?

The Internet is not just used for us to Google and learn about the world; it can also be used to keep us safe. Open Source Intelligence is about gleaning information from the open Internet to help customers stay ahead of threats—whether it be a group planning a protest, somebody making a physical threat to an executive online, or hackers selling compromised credentials or new malware. It’s having the capability to go through billions and billions of records and delivering intelligence about risks our customers care about.

How vulnerable are we to threats?

We have a lot of customers concerned about the digital footprint of their executives. How much information is out there that can be used by somebody wanting to track or use blackmail or any type of malicious activity against an executive? Even if they don’t use Twitter or social media, if their friends or family or their children are over-sharing

24 7.31.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

information, it can present a risk to that executive. All of those things are potential risks not just to an executive from a reputational perspective but to a whole slew of things that come into play.

How do phony “phishing” websites work to fool people and gain access to information?

The more effective method is called spear-phishing. Let’s say I want to get into your employer’s computer network. I know you work for them but I’m having a hard time getting in using other channels. But I find information about you—your hobbies, family members, things that are publicly available about you on the internet, and then I create a highly suitable email that sparks on your interests and hobbies, references your children’s names, things they are doing. You want to click that email because it contains things that are near and dear to your heart.

our customer immediately of some type of risk—whether it be on a social media site, in a documentsharing site, some type of blog or on the Dark Web, an area not reachable by search engines where bad guys hang out.

How does LookingGlass combat this?

We take what our customers care about, whether it be information protection, executive protection or physical security issues, and we tune our system to search for relevant threats so we can notify

Are there cyber threats specific to Las Vegas?

Las Vegas is really no different than any financial center because of all the money that comes in and out of here. But let’s focus on the more free-spirited side that happens to people when they get

here that winds up as social media posts. Yes, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas—until they put it on the internet. It’s amazing how many companies now are combing through social media regarding potential employees. You might be an outstanding citizen, but one day you let loose in Vegas. Maybe your friends took the picture, you don’t even know, and then they tag you. That is now searchable.

Vegas can accentuate your reputational risks even if you’re just minding your own business and having a good time.

SCENE

$64 million The amount earned by MGM Grand headliner David Copperfield from June 2015 to June 2016, placing him in the No. 20 spot on the latest Forbes 100 list of top-earning celebrities. Copperfield is the highestranking Vegas headliner in that list.

The song “Viva Las Vegas” was composed by two Brooklynites, Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, in 1963. Despite its popularity, it was never technically released as a single and Elvis Presley is rumored to have never performed it live.

In Season

Summer in Las Vegas means menus chock full of fresh fruits and vegetables, and OTTO Enoteca e Pizzeria at The Venetian and Carnevino at The Palazzo are showcasing a cornucopia of light dishes made with those ingredients. Among several new items, you’ll find the corn pizza at OTTO Enoteca e Pizzeria—housemade dough layered with fresh mozzarella, poached Fresno chilies, charred summer corn, cherry tomatoes and scallions. But if you’re looking for something less filling, skip over to Carnevino for the scrumptious corn agnolotti, a house-made pasta with a corn filling, served with seasonal mushrooms and arugula.

Good Deeds Go Rewarded

Giving blood might be one of the most generous things you can do—and it can help save lives. And while you’re here in Las Vegas, you can perform that act and get rewarded for it. From Aug. 1-7, Rock of Ages and United Blood Services have teamed up for a blood drive where anyone donating blood will also receive a free ticket to Rock of Ages. It only takes about an hour to give blood, so that’s a darned good use of your time. For more information and donation locations, go to UnitedBloodServices.org/LV.

Peter Buol was elected the first mayor of Las Vegas in 1911, six years after the city’s founding. He beat his challenger by just 10 votes and was given a monthly salary of $15 to oversee the city and its 800 inhabitants.

For almost 50 years, the shrimp cocktail at the Golden Gate downtown was just 99 cents.

Now $2.99, it’s still one of the best deals in the city.

Las Vegas’ first destination for travelers was El Rancho Vegas, a motor lodge that featured a casino, pool and $5-anight rooms.

One question

Martin Kaye What personal challenge taught you the toughest life lesson and how are you better off for that experience?

When I was at university, around age 18, casinos, which are legal everywhere in the U.K., became our hangout after clubbing, but having an addictive personality, it was only a matter of time before I started gambling. Blackjack became my poison, and it swallowed me whole for about eight years. The reason I stopped? I was working on cruise ships, playing the piano bar every night, and guess what was on my walk back to my cabin—the onboard casino, of course.

So I’d sit down every night, hard-earned tips in one hand and ATM card in the other, and …

I returned home at the end of that contract in more debt than when I left. That was the turning point. Before that, it had only ever been what I thought of as disposable income—student loans, or money I got from crappy jobs like delivering pizzas. But this ship gig was a real job, on my actual career path. If I was going to earn the living I’d always dreamed of, this had to stop. So… I just stopped. I knew there were way more important things at stake. Am I better for having gone through it? I definitely went to some seriously low places during those years—I know I’ll never want to be there again.

Simply Fabulous These days, a Barbra Streisand concert is more than just a performance; it’s an event. The singer, actress and filmmaker has never really been a regular touring act, focused more on making movies and albums and appearing in Broadway productions, but her concerts have been even more infrequent in recent years. Her current North American tour, her first since 2012, is hitting just nine cities— including Las Vegas on Aug. 6, and as always there’s the chance that it will end with her final bow.

Either way, seeing Streisand live is a one-of-a-kind experience, and this current tour (dubbed Barbra: The Music, the Mem’ries, the Magic) is only her seventh in the more than 50 years she’s been performing and recording music. Streisand’s latest album, Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway, is set for release just after the tour ends (although anyone who purchases tickets to one of her shows will get an advance copy), and she’ll be previewing material from it along with hits from throughout her career. –Josh Bell

The restaurant is an ocean-to-table concept, focusing on freshest seafood and produce, and welcoming you with light woods and layered textiles. There’s also plenty of outdoor seating and live music. This is an environment you may come to love as much as the food.

Let Them Entertain You Whatever it is that you do for entertainment, you’ll probably find an exciting version of it at MGM Grand. Hungry for Cirque-style razzle dazzle? Choose KÀ, pictured, the lavish, mystical journey that plays with your conceptions of space and dimension (note the tilting stage).

And David Copperfield’s intense illusions will keep you guessing all show long.

Hungry for actual food? Sumptuous dining awaits at Joël Robuchon, specializing in decadent French cuisine, (earning a Three Michelin-star rating) and complementing the menu with an art deco ambience featuring a garden terrace and marble floors. Now if you’re a swinger—and we mean with a club, not that other type—the vast new Topgolf attraction is a four-floor cornucopia of diversions that Golf Digest declared is “nothing short of insane” (in a good way). Yes, golf is at the heart of it—there are a whopping 108 hitting bays—but you can

Down and Dirty Fun Behold Nashville Meets Naughty, aka “X” Country: Kick’n Topless Revue. Now just wait a country minute and yeehaw … flesh!

The countrified revue is a jam-packed, fastmoving series of sensual segments featuring a hot quintet of lithe, limber ladies performing to a soundtrack ranging from Hank Williams Jr. and Garth Brooks to Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift.

Within 90 seconds, their tops are doffed—a frequent occurrence over the next 70 minutes of thrusts, gyrations, line-dancing, two-stepping and butt-slapping.

One must smile during the number set to Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats”—come on, who would cheat on any of these ladies?

One dancer luxuriates in an on-stage shower to Patsy Cline’s “Crazy.” Another strips down from a wedding dress to The Band Perry’s “Better Dig Two,” and three gals frolic with a bed sheet to Lady Antebellum’s “Just a Kiss.” All of which amounts to just a fraction of the “X” Country action. Yeehaw, indeed! –SB Harrah’s, 10 p.m. Thurs.-Mon., $36.23$61.92 plus tax and fee, 18+. 702.777.2782

Burrough’s Negroni The Burrough’s Negroni, one of Montecristo Cigar Bar at Caesars Palace’s classic cocktails, has a story behind it. It goes a little something like this: A long time ago, there was an Italian count—Count Negroni—and he was obsessed with American culture. He loved drinking Americanos, but they were too weak for him. To make them stronger, he had gin added—and that’s how the Negroni was born. This version mixes Beefeater Burrough’s Reserve oak rested gin with Campari and Carpano Antica Formula vermouth.

Fifty Vibrant Years Iconic resort has kept at the cutting edge of Vegas life

All-hail—now celebrate.

This week marks the 50th anniversary of iconic Caesars Palace, which opened on Aug. 5, 1966 (headliner: Andy Williams). During this “Summer of Caesars,” which began June 17, the resort has marked the milestone of builder/visionary Jay Sarno’s Roman-themed creation with giveaways, sweepstakes, menu/cocktail specials and room deals.

Other highlights include walking tours of the grounds and a photo exhibit, with images of Caesars throughout the decades, including its inclusion in many famous movies and the superstars who have graced the Colosseum (Celine Dion, Frank Sinatra, Cher, Bette Midler, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey and Jerry Seinfeld among them); interactive “selfie stations” (take a picture with a Roman chariot); anniversary merchandise; and what the hotel calls “surprises and delights,” including room upgrades, free show tickets, complimentary meals and drinks, spa/salon services, gift baskets and Forum Shop gift cards.

Now it all climaxes as the actual anniversary arrives. At the Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis on Aug. 5, three top mixologists, culled from contestants from around the country, square off in a cocktail competition. During the big weekend, celebratory events also include a commemorative cake and champagne toast and a gala for invited guests and VIPs. Beyond the anniversary excitement, guests and visitors can enjoy the numerous attractions that give Caesars Palace its unique signature. Vast shopping opportunities await at The Forum Shops. Twentyfive dining options include restaurants featuring the talents of culinary luminaries such as Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill, and the selftitled eateries of Gordon Ramsay, Guy Savoy, Michael Chow and Nobu Matsuhisa. Those hankering for a feast can also enjoy the Bacchanal Buffet. New to the attractions lineup is the Montecristo Cigar Bar, offering an array of smokes, whiskey and small bites.

Pampering is the point at the Qua Baths & Spa and the Color Salon. Pampering for a special reason— say, upcoming nuptials? Five wedding chapels are available for knot-tying—and then celebrate the union at the 75,000-square-foot Omnia Nightclub, the fun powered by big-name DJs. All hail—now celebrate. –Steve Bornfeld

The Hills are Alive Even nearly 60 years after it first debuted onstage and more than 50 years after the film version starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer was released in theaters, The Sound of Music retains a timeless appeal. The story of the Austrian Von Trapp family fleeing the Nazis before the German annexation of Austria in 1938 continues to have historical resonance, but the real enduring strengths of the show are its iconic songs by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Audiences can experience all of that in the latest touring production, which began last fall and is spending nearly two weeks at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts. Classic songs like “The Sound of Music,” “My Favorite Things” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” are brought to life by the talented cast and three-time Tony Award-winning director Jack O’Brien. “It soars with human touches and has a magnificent cast that win our hearts,” Broadway World said of O’Brien’s production. –Josh Bell

The Smith Center for the Performing Arts, 7:30 p.m. Aug. 2-5 & 9-12, 2 & 7:30 p.m. Aug. 6-7 & 13-14, starting at $29 plus tax and fee. 702.749.2000

Edge Meets Elegance He Works It Well Britney Spears’ show may currently be on hiatus, but there are two other “Britneys” at Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas.

Female impersonator Derrick Barry delivers a picture-perfect Britney Spears, pictured, right down to her cheekbones. His dance moves will have you believing you’re seeing the real deal. But there’s another Britney impersonator in the show: Kenneth Rex, who brings his own unique panache to the role of the Pop Princess.

Barry and Rex join a cast of celebrity look-alikes including Madonna, Beyoncé, Diana Ross and Cher, all introduced by Marino, who manages a mind-boggling multitude of costume changes.

It probably goes without saying you’ll be tempted to try a steak at N9NE Steakhouse, and from filet mignon to New York sirloin, you won’t regret that choice. There are plenty of great side dishes, too. We recommend starting with George’s creamed corn, an unbelievably thick and rich version of the classic. Potato options here are plentiful, including lobster mashed potatoes and truffle French fries. And don’t forget your veggies, specifically the fresh creamed spinach, containing bacon and topped with a Parmesan gratin. –KM Palms, 5:30-10 p.m. Sun.-Thurs., 5:30-11 p.m.

Not Just Stock Blues-Rock The Stone Foxes’ Koehler brothers carved out an independent career by mixing something old with something new. It’s a sound that borrows from classic rock and blues, as demonstrated on classic covers such as “I’m a King Bee” and “Little Red Rooster” from the band’s early set lists, and originals such as “I Killed Robert Johnson.” If you’ve heard “King Bee” in a Jack Daniels commercial you’ve heard the Stone Foxes.

The San Francisco band released its latest full-length Twelve Spells last year, and has coast-to-coast shows this summer that are reconnecting them with fans. Shannon and Spence Koehler are joined by bassist Vince Dewald, guitarist/violinist Ben Andrews, drummer Brian Bakalian and keyboardist Elliott Peltzman in the current incarnation of the Stone Foxes, which originated as a quartet featuring drummer Aaron Mort and current Goodnight, Texas

member Avi Vinocur. The sextet lineup allows the band to stretch musically without sacrificing its reputation for delivering its custom blend of blues-rock. –Matt Kelemen

Guided by Voices Terry Fator is one the most talented entertainers on the Las Vegas Strip, but his fans don’t pay big money just to see him. Well, sure, they want to hear Fator impeccably mimic the singing voices of legends like Etta James and Garth Brooks, but given that he’s a ventriloquist, what they really want is to hear those voices come out of the mouths of Fator’s famous cast of puppets.

Roy Orbison coming out of Fator’s mouth?

Impressive. Roy Orbison from the mouth of Winston the Impersonating Turtle? Gold!

In Las Vegas, it’s all about the views, and for some truly innovative ones, check out Vista Cocktail Lounge (Caesars Palace, 702.731.7852). The stunning space features LED portals that recreate the skylines of some of the world’s most identifiable cityscapes, like New York or Dubai.

And that’s precisely the reaction Fator wants.

Every single puppet, from sweet Emma Taylor to annoying Duggie Scott Walker, comes from the deep reaches of his imagination, each one the embodiment of whatever voice he feels like throwing at the moment.

Play Date Super Toy Con asks the age-old question, “Are toys for kids or adults?” Fans of all ages are sure to pack the Orleans Arena on Aug. 5-7 as more than 200 vendors sell their wares. Products bought will no doubt look amazing in the collectors’ homes, also known as their parents’ basements. But toys are just the beginning. Contests include a custom toy contest, which features three levels of competition: mild, where entrants solely repaint toys; spicy, where players can shave, cut and add accessories to toys; and wild, where anything goes!

But the custom toy contest is just the beginning. The Elite Toy Class contest features visionary competitors making their own toys and creating dioramas where homemade heroes can do anything—battle villains, eat lunch with fat, old, retired heroes, whatever! But the Elite Toy Class contest is just the beginning! Grown men and women can push adoring children out of the way to get a glimpse of surefire WWE Hall of Famer

John Cena along with those hellcats, The Bella Twins. That’s if they’re not pushing other kids out of the way to meet David Prowse, the man who played Darth Vader or other stars of movies like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Gremlins.

Super Toy Con proves that toys are for everyone... but mostly adults. –Jason Harris Orleans Arena, 4-10 p.m. Aug. 5, 10 a.m.9 p.m. Aug. 6, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Aug. 7, starting at $12 plus tax and fee. 702.284.7777

Romance in Vegas The King is Back In Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE, four “misfits” personify aspects of Michael Jackson’s character.

For romance and total ambience, it’s tough to beat the Eiffel Tower Experience. Rising up 460 feet from the Las Vegas Strip the steel fortress at Paris provides one of the most spectacular views of Las Vegas around.

Star Power to Spare Whoopi Goldberg is one of those very talented people who shines in whatever she does as evidenced by being one of a select few entertainers who have won Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony awards.

Add to this being a current co-host of The View television show (she just resigned), recently launching a new show on Oxygen, which is a reality-documentary series on transgender models, being an author and, of course, her live stand-up series—Goldberg definitely lets no grass grow under her feet.

Many fans remember her for her breakout role in the film The Color Purple, where she gave a memorable performance as a mistreated black woman in the Deep South and for her comedic but intense role as Oda Mae Brown, an eccentric psychic in Ghost, for which she rightly won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1990.

Goldberg has also hosted the Academy Awards and been nominated a total of 13 times for an Emmy for her memorable work in television. –Penny Levin

Split Personalities Gordie Brown charms audiences, using comedy and music to guide his impressions. He expels a ton of energy, switching from Al Pacino, Nicolas Cage and John Travolta to Jim Carrey, Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson in the blink of an eye. Then he’ll break into song and dance, changing his voice from Eminem and Usher to Vanilla Ice and Adam Levine. His ability to create a seamless dialogue between multiple personalities looks easier than it should. And it doesn’t end there, for the show is always evolving. –Kiko Miyasato Golden Nugget, 7:30 p.m. Tues.-Thurs. & Sat.Sun., $27.50-$71.50 plus tax and fee, show and buffet package available, 16+. 866.946.5336

Oh So Good Not only were the ’70s soft rock and disco—it was also a prime time for funk, a genre that fuses soul, jazz and R&B. Acts like ParliamentFunkadelic and Sly and the Family Stone found success and paved the way for groups such as Cameo (Westgate Las Vegas, 800.222.5361), founded by Larry Blackmon. That funk sound is far from gone. Who doesn’t still love: “Come on, baby, tell me what’s the word / Word up (Up, up), everybody say / When you hear the call you’ve got to get it underway.” –Chanelle Hayes

All Eyes are Smiling

Beloved bar expands and continues its party reign It was a somber day when the original O’Sheas casino closed in 2012, even if it was to make way for The Linq retail/dining project.

The casino where Rusty Griswold won a car in Vegas Vacation would be no more. Farewell to beer pong, farewell to cheap and abundant drinks and, saddest of all, farewell to Mr. Lucky, Brian Thomas’ beloved green-clad character and the casino’s mascot. After 23 years on the Strip, it seemed that the luck had run out for O’Sheas.

Or had it?

A new O’Sheas reopened at The Linq Promenade at the end of 2013, bringing the spirit of the original back to the Las Vegas Strip with beer pong, blackjack, three bars offering cheap drinks and more than 50 types of beer—and, of course,

42 7.31.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Mr. Lucky. The 5,000 square-foot space is still a mix of an old-timey Irish pub and raucous Vegas casino that pays homage to its roots.

The original marquee, refurbished and brighter than ever, stands right outside the casino’s Linq promenade entrance and next to the outdoor Blarney Bar, which serves up cocktails and frozen delights like the Irish Marg and Fire in the Hole.

The Dublin Up bar features a mural of the original O’Sheas, and the Lucky Bar, right next to a row of beer pong tables, is there to quench your preand postgame thirst.

O’Sheas’ bartenders take time to romp around with their guests. They’ll even jump up on the bar to blaring whistles and stomp up and down the bar while giving away free shots. And who

doesn’t like free shots? Speaking of shots, take yours at one of the several blackjack or roulette tables, or take a turn playing foosball with a few friends.

Conveniently, O’Sheas is accessible from both the outdoor Linq Promenade and from inside The Linq Hotel, so it’s never too far from reach.

Up on the small stage situated next to one of the bars, live entertainment makes for merrier memories with one-man band Jeremy Cornwell and DJs including Josh Bliss and J Bray performing throughout the week; and, every Wednesday is Ladies Night. So, what do you say? You feeling lucky? –Las Vegas Magazine Staff The Linq Promenade, 24 hours daily.

Le Bar

L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon specializes in, and adds to, fine French cuisine

nosh cheers

Joël Robuchon is a culinary legend who was once designated “Chef of the Century” and has 25 Michelin Guide stars to his name. And Las Vegas is fortunate enough to be home to not one but two of his restaurants, situated side-by-side at MGM Grand. The bastion of fine dining is his eponymous venue but next door is L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon—his more “casual” dining experience.

Understand that the word “casual” is applied loosely to L’Atelier, as it is still a Robuchon restaurant. But literally translated to “workshop” in French, what the restaurant offers is culinary theater, as a 26-seat counter lets you peek directly into the showcase kitchen. Those seats afford some of the finest sights in Vegas as they pull back the curtain on what The Wizard— executive chef Steve Benjamin—and his crew accomplish on a nightly basis.

What’s most intriguing about L’Atelier is that while it is a restaurant grounded in the traditional French stylings of Robuchon and his protégé Benjamin, the menu doesn’t fully commit to a single culinary cause. La Saint-Jacques is a buttery steamed scallop served atop a tart seaweed butter tinged with Espelette pepper, melding traditional French ingredients with Japanese influences in an epiphany showcasing the mild bivalve without overwhelming it. Also Far East-inspired is Le Hamachi, a salty and sweet comingling of sashimi yellowtail swaddling uni with a dollop of caviar atop for good measure. And Le Saint-Pierre delivers crisped-yet-flaky

MGM Grand 5-10:30 p.m. daily.

La Caille

L'Amuse-bouche

John Dory with immaculately funky geoduck ravioli in a swirl of flavor and texture.

Along more traditional lines, L’Asperge serves blanched asparagus in a creamy butter sauce—Robuchon is known for his affection for butter—finished with paper-thin slices of prosciutto di Parma, while La Caille explores the fields with an unctuous foie gras-stuffed quail served with his famous pommes puree, also rich with butter. And L’Amuse-Bouche delivers more foie gras in the guise of a parfait with a port wine reduction and Parmesan emulsion serving as a foil to its richness.

On the lighter side, La Ricotta delivered herb-imprinted ricotta tortellini in a sharp vegetable broth not leaving you wanting for meat. And Le Bar consists of seared sea bass in a light garlic butter with chorizo and an umami-full porcini cream.

But as difficult a task as it might be, don’t overeat on the way to dessert where Le Chocolate awaits. Chocolate combines with caramel, Guinness ice cream and a whimsical pretzel “rocher” in a whirlwind of decadence.

While the most grand way to experience L’Atelier is to partake of the seasonal discovery menu, the venue also offers à la carte offerings and a trio of prix fixe menus including a pré théâtre option. As this is accessible as a 25-star Michelin chef can be, while in Vegas you should take the time to explore the world of Robuchon.

Melissa Fisher

Model cocktail server gets the party started When it comes to her job, Melissa Fisher, model cocktail server at Jewel nightclub at Aria, has one goal in mind. “I try and create a party; create a night they’ll never forget,” said the San Diego native.

A moment that Fisher won’t forget? Landing the position at Jewel. Out of hundreds and hundreds of beautiful women, three rounds of nerve-wracking auditions and waiting to get that final call saying you’ve been hired—“It’s amazing, it’s like winning American Idol,” she said. Fisher gets extra credit, too. Before she moved to Las Vegas a few years ago, she didn’t have any experience in the nightlife industry.

She simply came to town to help out a friend and ended up auditioning for Jewel’s sister club,

46 7.31.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Hakkasan at MGM Grand. She landed that job, too. When she got word that Jewel would be opening this year, she jumped at the chance. “I wanted a change of scenery,” she said. “Jewel is very intimate and you can feel the vibes and see everyone having a good time.”

And, now that Fisher holds one of the coveted positions at Jewel, she knows she has a reputation to uphold.

“We’re party starters; we keep the energy in the room going,” she said. “For me, I want to make sure that people are having fun and getting what they pay for. If there’s a chance for me to make their party better, that’s my job. Bringing joy to people, seeing them happy—that’s my favorite part of my job.” –Kiko Miyasato

At most nightclubs, it’s all about the bottle service. “We want to give you a good experience when ordering a bottle; do something that’ll be remembered,” Fisher said. And Jewel goes big on bottle presentations— costumed characters, flag-waving from the table’s country of origin, birthday cakes, sparklers, confetti, a party train of beautiful model cocktail servers; there’s even a mini Rolls Royce replica that the bottle is placed and carried over to the table in. “Bottle presentations are just so cool to watch and so fun to be a part of,” said Fisher. –KM

Be Blown Away

Hair haven offers more than just styles What girl’s hair is so straight that she can’t get a curl to stay in—ever? This writer! But, a visit to the recently opened Drybar at Miracle Mile Shops has forever changed the answer to that question. My hair not only held bouncy, shiny, big curls—it stayed curly for days.

With the first Las Vegas outpost (it’s the brand’s largest Drybar to date), the Southern California-based company offers “No cuts. No color. Just blow outs.” And, the best thing? All blow outs cost only $49 (including shampooing and conditioning).

Upon arrival to the 2,797 square-foot den of delights you’ll be whisked away by your hair stylist. On my trip, I had the pleasure of being styled by Dani Finley. If you want to know about

50 7.31.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

Drybar’s history, every detail about the products used (Drybar has created their own sulfatefree and vegan hair care products and hair care tools) or a general question about hair, Finley’s a talking encyclopedia. Each guest goes through the Look Book to pick out the type of blow-out style desired. The most popular? The Cosmo.

“It’s the Victoria’s Secret model look; big bouncy curls,” said Finley. “This style really defines us as a company.” There are also styles like the Southern Comfort (big hair with lots of volume), and the Mai Tai (messy, beach hair), in addition to styles that include updos, braids and the Shirley Temple, for those 10 years old and younger.

But, at Drybar it doesn’t just stop at hair. You can enjoy so much more. Take a seat at the full-

service bar and choose from a menu of specialty cocktails, like favorite Sin City Fizz. There’s also the DJ booth pumping out the latest music, romantic comedies playing on TVs, and the selfie photo booth.

“We want you to come in and sit down and get your hair done. Whether we have to squeeze you in or not, we want to make women feel good,” said Finley. “That’s our main focus—have guests have fun and make them feel good, look good and be proud.” And, you know what? This writer certainly did. –Kiko Miyasato Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort, 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Sun., 8 a.m.-11 p.m.

What lies ahead in this story— its tone, sense of propriety and regard for emotional sensitivity—should be viewed through this cracked (with tongue wedged deeply in cheek) prism: “You get in your editor’s face and you say, ‘I don’t give a flyin’ communist blank (a common profanity, used here as a noun) what you and your blanking (same profanity—now an adjective) reds have to say, I’m

Go over their heads! Rise up!”

Got it? Good. (And if you see a “flyin’ communist” please call the Department of Homeland Security immediately.)

Meet his ditz/assistant “Joy Jenkins,” too, who observes the same exasperating (though entertaining) policy. Describe yourself to our readers, Joy: “I’m kind of like Ivanka Trump. Except I don’t have boobs or good looks and I have a hard time talking and sometimes I get confused where I am. But very similar in many ways.”

No, she doesn’t remotely resemble Ivanka Trump in any way. (Sorry, babe—Gaz ordered me to write the truth.)

As the strangest, saltiest, dirtiest show on the Strip—we dare you to find anyone who would argue with that—Absinthe also blows up the term “politically incorrect.” It’s politically nuts. We’d quote some jokes, gags and audience participation bits except … we can’t.

Suffice it to say that between the Gazillionaire and Joy, every racial, ethnic and sexual identity zinger is covered—and the sex references would fit in at the AVN Awards.

(At a recent performance, this writer, sitting between two refined young women, redefined the term “nervous laughter”—while they laughed with abandon.)

Housed in a tent on the forecourt of Caesars Palace, it’s a circus of the surreal in which, in between the banter of the acerbic Gaz and the batty Joy, we’re dazzled by an array of acrobatic and variety acts.

Among them: “chair mountain” daredevil Maxim Popazov; four-man balancing team Atlantis; “Green Fairy” Melody Sweets; “Bubble Girl” Charlie Starling; “Skates from Hell” spin-

54 7.31.16 LasVegasMagazine.com

ners Billy and Emily England; dance parodists Ivan and Ivana Chekov-Jones; the hand-to-hand acrobatics of Duo Vector; high-wire walkers The Frat Pack; and the aerial exertions of “Bathtub Boy” David O’Mer. Tying it all together are these two … characters. You think they and the death-defying acts are a tight family? “If they risk too much, we just get rid of them and get another Ukrainian in here,” says Gaz—homely/resplendent with his stringy hair (apparently styled with a comb soaked in Crisco), John Waters pencil moustache, bug eyes, gold tooth and tacky tuxedo.

“I had to learn how to fill in when he was too drunk to hold it together onstage,” says Joy, a kewpie doll-goofy sidekick in a bowl-cut coif—apparently inspired by Moe of The Three Stooges—big glasses and doofus dress that makes her look like the most sexless girl at the prom. All of which adds visual dissonance to her outrageous, squeaky-voiced sex rants.

Want to get to know them? Stream of consciousness is the way to go.

Gaz on himself: “I’m rich and I’m rich. My charisma is a given. My natural intelligence is a given. The handsome features. The jawline.

Very masculine. Large hands. And you’re looking at 24-karat gold threads sewn by little Chinese hands into this exquisite jacket.”

Joy on her job: “Somebody’s gotta help when he’s passed out. Not like he’ll ever say thank you.

But I feel deep down he’s saying thank you, not with words, but just not hurting me. And I try to help people get dressed in the back. They usually tell me to stop.”

Gaz on Joy: “She has zero training, not just in performance but in life. She’s not educated.

Caesars Palace 8 & 10 p.m. Wed.-Sun., $99-$139 VIP plus tax and fee, 18+. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster

She cannot read. She can barely put together a sentence. And yet, 500 people seem to enjoy her every night. I don’t know why.”

Joy on the audience at Absinthe: “I like it at the top of the show where a lot of people are angry at us. And by the end, they’re laughing and having a good time. The most angry people are the ones who end up crying with tears down their faces, going red because they never laugh and they don’t know what it feels like to have that release. They haven’t laughed in so long because they are kind of terrible people. If you’ve got a stick in a certain place and you don’t ever feel like taking that stick out, this is not your show.”

Gaz on walkouts: “I’m glad. We don’t give them their money back. We resell that seat to someone waiting on the outside, so we doublesell it.”

Joy on half-show, double-sold seats: “Half of Absinthe is better than any other full show out there—including Hamilton. And Hamilton is good, it’s just not Absinthe.”

Gaz on people misunderstanding some gags, say, when he launches into a bit about a particularly sordid sex act: … You know what?

Never mind.

Let’s try Gaz on his post-show libation: “It’s not legal here but it’s from China, a concoction that’s mostly liquid cocaine. But there’s also some Robitussin in there. And bath salts.”

Thanks, you two nutballs.

As for you readers, if you take what Gaz and Joy have said here seriously, have another drink—apparently, you’ve already had a few.

Which makes you ideally suited to experience Absinthe.

Kathleen Madigan’s sensible journey to stardom Judging by how much time Kathleen Madigan spends traveling, one might think she’s drawn to life on the road. Although it may seem sometimes like she’s on the comedy counterpart of Bob Dylan’s “Never Ending Tour,” Madigan’s less addicted to travelling than she is dedicated to stand up, as evidenced by a stay at comedian Ron White’s Atlanta home. “He has this really awesome house on a golf course, and I really did think I could become a ... housewife,” she recalls. “Like, ‘I could do this every day. I have no desire to leave the bio-dome that Ron White has found in Atlanta.’”

Alas, it was a fleeting, albeit comfortable, thought. “I guess I just figured this is my life,” says Madigan. “I don’t know another life, so this is it.”

Way Back With Wayne Few entertainers make the effort to connect with their audiences like Wayne Newton (Bally’s, 702.777.2782) does. Over the course of almost six decades, Newton has given his all during every show to give his audiences what they want, singing his greatest songs and playing more than a dozen instruments, making it impossible for anyone to deny his commitment and passion.

And now Mr. Las Vegas is back in the limelight at Bally’s, only this time he’s connecting in a different way—relaying stories from his life and answering questions from the audience in Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal.

Whether Newton is discussing becoming a musical icon while still in his early 20s, entertaining U.S. troops for decades or breeding Arabian horses, he’ll have more than

enough material to keep audiences enthralled.

And as an added bonus, Newton will play a few tunes to remind everyone of his impact on American music, from “Danke Schoen” to “Daddy Don’t You Walk So Fast.” Even if you’ve been to numerous Newton performances before, this show guarantees you’ll experience a side of him you’ve never seen, or heard, before. –Ken Miller

THE KATS REPORT

Around Town John Katsilometes is an awardwinning columnist who has been covering the city since 1996, and has been the author of The Kats Report since 2009. Visit his blog at LasVegasSun.com.

Who-What-Where On July 14, legendary Beatles Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr reunited for an evening of peace, love and musical bliss as they celebrated the 10th anniversary of The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil at The Mirage. The house

was packed with Beatles fans, Cirque du Soleil enthusiasts and celebrity friends including Yoko Ono Lennon, Mira Sorvino, Josh Hutcherson, Ron Howard, Kevin Nealon, Kevin Dillon, Ron White, Mark Foster and Dominic

Champagne. Also around town, at Tao in The Venetian, were Joe Jonas and Wilmer Valderrama taking in the party from a VIP table. Also in the crowd was television producer Jerry Bruckheimer with a large group at a VIP table.

Jillette’s pounds have disappeared; now book appears Penn Jillette’s new book Presto! How I Made Over 100 Pounds Disappear and Other Magical Tales is out Aug. 2. His latest effort chronicles his remarkable weight loss over the past couple of years, when he topped out at 330 and today is at 234 pounds. “... By the time I turned fifty-nine, I had been more than one hundred pounds overweight for over a decade. Before that, I’d been fifty pounds overweight for over a decade, and before that I’d been thirty pounds overweight for over a decade …” In a tale that has become part of Vegas lore, in the fall of 2014, Jillette, now 61, embarked on what he describes as “Crazy” Ray Cronise’s wild “potato diet.” Cronise is a former NASA scientist and innovator, and today Jillette’s diet is free of animal products, grains, sugar and salt.

Some uncertainty has surrounded the Donny & Marie gig at Flamingo Las Vegas. As of press time, the sibling duo of Donny Osmond and Marie Osmond had yet to sign a deal extending their residency through 2017. I expect that to happen soon enough, meaning that what was booked as a six-week run way back in September 2008 will indeed hit its ninth year in ’17.

Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band has booked Nov. 13 at Reynolds Hall at The Smith Center for its next Las Vegas show (tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. July 30, thesmithcenter.com). The band features Todd Rundgren, Gregg Rolie, Steve Lukather, Richard Page, Warren Ham and Gregg Bissonette. The show is produced by longtime rock promoter Danny Zelisko.

Wayne Newton has been recovering from a bite from a brown recluse spider at his lakeside retreat at Flathead Lake near Kalispell, Mont. This happened in late June and The Wayner missed a few dates at Bally’s as he had surgery on his leg and has been under antibiotic treatment.

The episode took him out of a planned appearance at Mondays Dark, which was a tribute to the USO.
